A Rosemont

2020 has been a year unlike any other for the students of the Undergraduate College. Courses are being delivered in a hybrid model, classroom chairs are spaced six feet apart, gatherings take place on Zoom, and everyone wears a mask on campus.

Yet, our students are engaged. They are discovering and developing their passions. They are making lifelong connections and finding their best friends. They are achieving their dreams. They are finding the POWER in community, to quote Kenny Wiggins ’21.

Your gift to the Experience Fund makes it all possible. Please make a gift today to support the students of the Undergraduate College. “I’ve always loved history. My professor saw that and encouraged me to make it my major, along with education. It is POWERFUL to have a community that helps you find your passion.” Kenny Wiggins ’21 History and Secondary Education Major
